HenrY .. OoWen died q the res.

Henry L. Cowen died at the res
idence of Mr.. r. B. Chatham, on
Thursday night, the 9th ult., at
about the age of 40 years. Hav-
ing been reared in affiuenee, all
means of support were swept
from him by the exigencies of war,
and besides this he lost an arm
while fighting for the Confederate
cause in the Virginia army. Owing
to the hardshlps endured in the
army, and the morphine habit con-
tracted in the treatment of his
wound, Mr.. C0wen became phys
ieal wreck, and he was sent to and
spent good many months in the
county pOorhouse, whence be was
taken to the State hospital at
Vieksburg.
Mississippi has no home such as
great many other States have
for her MANNED soldiers, who like
Mr.. Cowen cannot make a support,
but il is getting to be high time

The Senate last Friday, by a

funding to the several States the

of direct war tax under acts of
Congress of August 9th 1861 and
June 7th 1862, and releasing the
States that are still in default, from

The Oil, Paint and Drug Re.
porter, of New York, sent out
yesterday a very fattering ac.
count of the condition of the
American Cotton Seed Oil Trust
Company, wherein it pointed out
that IL would soon close its books
sin possession Of fourhfths of the
mills in this country and nine.
tenths Of the refining capacity, a
commanding position in the lard
and soap industries, no debts, and
something like s4,O00,0O0 of net
earnings in the treasury" This is
certainly q tlattering picture of
the company from the New York
standpoint. How does it look
down here The Trust has com.
plete possession of tho field in
New Orleans, and ought to make
q good showing here. Yet, up to
last Saturday, the receipts of cot.
ton seed here was only 7G6,603
sacks against l,170,600 sacks for
the same period last year, a differ
ence of 4O4,OOG sacks, or 81 per
cent, a pretty heavy falling off
when it is considered that we are
way ahead in our cotton as com.
pared with 1886. And again our
receipts from the interior mills of

Being a Boy.
ICharles Dudley Warner.I

l0Hattts buuitl W tIutIsl
One of the best things in tho
world is to be a boy; it requires
no experience though it needs
some practice to be a good one.
The disadvantage of the position
is that it does not last long
enough. 1t is soon over. Just as
you get used to being q boy you
have to be something else, with a
good deal more work to do and
not half so much fun.
And yet every boy is anxious
to be q man, and is very uneasy
with the restrictions that are put
upon him as a boy. There are so
many bright spots in the life of a
farm boy that | sometimes think
that | should like to live the life
over again. | should always be
willing to be a girl If it were not
for the chores. There is a great
comfort to a boy in the amount of
work he can get rid of doing. 1t
is sometimes astonishing how slow
he can go on an errand. Perhaps
he couldn't explain himself, why,
when he is sent to a neighbours
after yeast, he stops to stone
frogs. He is not exactly cruel,
but he wants 10 see if he can Int
them.
1t is a curious fact about boys
that two will be a great deal slow
or about doing anything than one.
Boys have a great power of help
ing each other do nothing. But
say what you will about the gen.
eral usefulness of boys, a farm
without a boy would very soon
come to grief. He is always in
demand. In the first place he is
to do all the errand, so to the
store, the postoflice, and to carry
AL sorts of messages. He would
like to have rs many legs as
wheel has spokes, and rotate in
about the same way.
This he sometimes tries to do
and people who have seen hin
turning cartwheels" along tho
side of the road have supposed ht
was amusing himself and idling biz
time. He was only trying to inven
a new mode of locomotion, so tina
he could economize his legs tt
his errands with great dispatch
Leap. frog is one of his methods o
getting over the ground quickly
| He has q natural genius for com
binlng pleasure with business.
